Touring

This was the week I was going to take you with me on a tour of the grounds.

 We would have started on the west side.

 In anticipation of the tour I took a few quick pictures.

 Of the things that were blooming.

 The yarrow.

 The red wood dogwood.

 The clematis.

 The daylilies, which were just budding.  But before they could bloom, or I got around to posting about them, I came home to this.

And the west side of the house took the brunt of the storm.

 And then the next day it hailed again.

And hail is not kind to plants.  So if you don't mind we will start the tour tomorrow- on the south side.
